Bonchon, the global Korean fried chicken franchise known for its double-fried chicken and signature sauces, is looking to expand into San Antonio as part of its continued growth strategy in Texas. According to a recent Hoodline article, the company is actively seeking a local franchise partner to lead development efforts in the market.

While no locations have been announced and an opening timeline has not been established, securing a franchisee is the first step toward bringing the brand to the Alamo City.

Founded in Busan, South Korea, in 2002, Bonchon has grown into an international restaurant brand with a significant presence in the United States. The company moved its global headquarters from New York to Dallas in 2020 as part of a broader initiative to accelerate domestic growth and strengthen franchise development efforts.

Bonchon already operates several locations across Texas, including restaurants in Addison, Flower Mound, Fort Worth and multiple Houston-area communities. The company has identified San Antonio as one of its priority markets for future expansion, citing the city's size, growth and strong restaurant culture.

The brand is best known for its hand-battered, double-fried chicken wings and tenders, which are finished with its signature soy garlic or spicy sauces. Bonchon has built a loyal following around its Korean-inspired menu and fast-casual dining experience.

Franchising remains a central component of the company's expansion strategy. Bonchon provides franchisees with training, operational support and development resources as it works to grow its footprint in new markets across the country.

Any future San Antonio locations would depend on a franchise agreement being finalized, followed by site selection, permitting and construction. While the timeline remains uncertain, the company's interest in the market signals continued momentum for the brand's Texas growth plans.
